193. Became a shareholder of Arri

Brother Da Ma and Brother Xiao Ma were stunned by the information in Zhou Fangyuan's hand.

But the two shocked in different directions.

Brother Xiao Ma was shocked by the wealth of Zhou Fangyuan's family, while Brother Ma was shocked by Zhou Fangyuan's family's industry.

"Fast food, farms, farms...... Mr. Zhou, you are going to implement the industry. ”

Brother Ma looked at the documents and looked up from time to time.

Zhou Fangyuan smiled when he heard this, "It's not an industry, it's just some agriculture-related industries, but I have always believed that at any time, people must leave a way back for themselves." When all other industries are in crisis, there is still one last industry that can feed itself and not be completely destroyed. And my family's farm and farm are for this purpose. After all, people can not drive cars, they can not live in buildings, they can not enjoy any high-end services, but they must not skip meals. Fast food restaurants can only be regarded as a sideshow, after all, there are many international giants in the fast food industry who have entered China. But farms and farms, as long as there are no problems with food safety, can be eaten for a lifetime. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said for a long time.

As soon as he finished speaking, Big Brother Ma gave him a thumbs up.

"You're a good idea, you're a big brain. ”

Brother Ma didn't want to do business, but at this stage, he didn't have the ability at all, and it cost money to do business. Let's not talk about opening a factory or something, it will cost more. Like the Zhou family, they set their sights on the field of agriculture, as he said, as long as there is no food safety problem, it is really impossible to eat it for a lifetime. And the cost of doing this is not small, a meat factory cost them more than 10 million dollars, and the farm, because of the support of the city, the land is basically free, but the development of land, including leveling, reclamation, sowing, fertilization, etc., is also thrown down by millions.

That's already close to 20 million in cash, what does 20 million mean in '99? So agriculture is not something that can be played casually, it also requires a lot of money to be invested, and it must have a good relationship with the local government. This is something that Brother Ma can't do at this stage anyway, he doesn't have so much money and doesn't have such a wide range of connections.

Putting down the documents, Brother Ma's evaluation of Zhou Fangyuan was already a few points higher.

"So let's talk about it, how much money can you give now, and how many shares are you going to have?"

"I can contribute up to 10 million soft sister coins, and I want 70% of your company's shares. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a chuckle.

"Seventy percent?"

Brother Ma's eyes widened slightly, and he began to shake his head incessantly.

"Impossible, seventy percent is too much, if I give you so many shares, it is equivalent to selling the company directly to you, no, I can't accept such conditions, I can give you up to twenty percent of the shares, this is the maximum number I can promise. ”

"Twenty percent?"

Zhou Fangyuan frowned when he heard this, "Brother Ma, this number is a little too little, now it is only twenty percent, you will have to raise funds in the future, when the time comes, the shares in my hands will continue to dilute, how many can remain in my hands in the end? No, twenty percent is too little, so let's take a step back, eight million, I want fifty-five percent of the shares." Brother Ma, this price is already very sincere, and you can rest assured, I will not interfere in the management of the company, the company is still yours, I just want to make money, I don't have much interest in your company. ”

"That's not good, twenty-five percent, Mr. Zhou, the company is not my own, I have other shareholders, and I need to be responsible for other shareholders. ”

Brother Da Ma began to explain his difficulties.

"But Brother Ma, you also have to think about my difficulties, I took out so much money from my family, and my family was very opposed, after all, your company is still so small, and I can't see the prospect of investment, and I have also taken a lot of risks. Five million, fifty percent of the shares. ”

"Student Zhou, you are afraid that your own shares will be diluted in the future, why don't I worry about this problem? Twenty-seven percent, this is really my limit, you don't have to bargain. ”

"That's not good, Brother Ma, I'm here to invest just to get shares, you give me so little, how can I accept it? Forty-seven percent, I've already made so many concessions, you just agree." ”

Next, like an uncle and aunt in the market, the two began to bargain in a small room, fighting for each other, and neither of them would give in easily.

In the end, after half an hour of discussion, the bargaining of 55,000 yuan had basically begun, and Zhou Fangyuan's investment plan was finally determined.

Zhou Fangyuan will bid 4.75 million yuan to buy 43% of the shares of Ali Group, which is much more expensive than Brother Xiaoma's Tengxun, but it is still within his acceptable range. At first, his idea was to spend all the money on his body, and he could buy as much as he could, but now he spent less than 10 million in total, and he won nearly half of the shares of the two companies each, which is already a surprise.

This price and this figure, both parties are actually satisfied. Of course, Brother Ma has to pay more, after all, 43% of the shares are not a small amount, and his company is indeed not made by him alone, the money to open the company was raised by everyone, and many people have shares, and now Zhou Fangyuan wants to take away so many shares, Brother Da Ma is better, and other people's shares must be diluted to a very small extent.

But fortunately, Brother Ma has absolute authority in the company, he says what he is, and others are not qualified to meddle.

Once a verbal agreement was reached, the atmosphere in the room was much better, and the two began to talk and laugh, Brother Da Ma said some interesting things that happened before he started his business, while Zhou Fangyuan talked about his competition with others in his hometown.

The two were chatting happily when the door was suddenly pushed open and a young man with glasses walked in.

"Lao Ma, I heard that someone wants to invest, what about investors?"

He automatically ignored Zhou Fangyuan, after all, Zhou Fangyuan was too young, and no one would have thought that he would come to invest.

"It's Mr. Cai, hello, it's nice to meet you, I'm Zhou Fangyuan, and I'm the investor in your mouth. ”

Zhou Fangyuan took the initiative to get up and say hello.

The identity of the person in front of him instantly appeared in his mind.

Cai Zhongxin, formerly a practicing lawyer in New York City, USA, served as a vice president and senior investment manager at InvestorAsia Limited, a subsidiary of Investor AB, and later moved to a number of well-known companies, which can be said to be a real winner in life. Later, after meeting Brother Da Ma, he did not hesitate to give up his job with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands to join Brother Da Ma. And this person has also made a great contribution to the Arli Group, without him, Ari would have become a family-owned business, it is precisely because of his existence that the Arli Group avoided this drawback at the very beginning, and continued to develop in a very healthy and good way, until it later became the leading Internet giant in China.

It can be said that this person has contributed a lot in this process.

The reason why he is so anxious now is that on the one hand, investors are indeed the help they urgently need now, and at the same time, he is also afraid that Big Brother Ma will be coaxed.

He is a natural orator, he really has a strong personality, and people are willing to work hard with him to start a business, but at the same time, he is also a very emotional person, and it is easy to be taken advantage of. Cai Zhongxin had been running investment outside before, and when he heard that someone took the initiative to invest, his first reaction was to rush back, and he couldn't let Brother Ma face the investors alone no matter what.

It's a pity that he was too late after all.

But fortunately, Zhou Fangyuan and Brother Da Ma have not signed an agreement, but have only reached a consensus verbally.

But then again, what can he Cai Zhongxin do when he comes back? The results of Zhou Fangyuan's discussion with Brother Da Ma are all the result of the two sides arguing on the basis of reason, and Brother Da Ma is already very satisfied with this distribution method, even if Cai Zhongxin raises objections, it is useless. And to be honest, it is indeed possible to buy 43% of the shares at a price close to 5 million. The company founded by hundreds of thousands, it only took a long time, and the valuation directly increased more than ten times, such a good thing, Cai Zhongxin himself was present at the time, so he would not object.

In the final analysis, the reason for this result is the asymmetry of information.

Whether it's a big horse or a small pony, they are not sure where they can go in the future, Big Malaysia is slightly stronger, but he must know that he will become one of the Internet giants? Not necessarily. After all, there are too many unknowns in the future, and if you are not a reborn, who can know what the future will become? No one can know, except for Zhou Fangyuan.

So when he came over with a huge amount of money to buy shares with great sincerity, no one would refuse, on the contrary, whether it was a big horse or a small horse, they were very happy, and even regarded Zhou Fangyuan as the one who saved the company.

The next thing is very easy to do, hold a shareholders' meeting, introduce Zhou Fangyuan, and then sign the equity division agreement, and the other shareholders will dilute the shares accordingly. Submitting the materials, the bank making the payment, and a series of processes have gone down, and it has been several days later. When Zhou Fangyuan got the shareholder capital contribution certificate of Arli Group, the smile on his face really couldn't be stopped. It was so smooth, so smooth that he couldn't believe it, and at the same time, he also sighed in his heart that the reborn person was really terrible. With a little care, it is simply too easy to make money, and if nothing else, just say that the two certificates of contribution in his bag will make him one of the richest people in the country in the future. Even to the extent that he can't spend it in several lifetimes, he is not a very ambitious person, and at the root, as long as the money is enough to spend him, he is very satisfied.

And at this point, to put it mildly, it's okay for him to retire now.

But fortunately, Zhou Fangyuan has not been unambitious to that extent, so these two certificates of capital contribution are just a guarantee for his future. Then he has to do other things, live again, always live a wonderful life, just make money and spend money, what's the point?

A week later, Zhou Fangyuan took Liu Yiling on the train back to his hometown under the farewell of Brother Ma, and he was finally ready to go home.
